摘要:
Biomedical devices formed from a polymerization product of a monomeric mixture comprising one or more monomers comprising at least two trifluorovinyl groups are provided. Also provided are biomedical devices formed from a network of a polymer comprising one or more perfluorocyclobutane rings in the polymer backbone wherein the network is formed by crosslinks in the polymer.

The present invention provides prepolymers based on poly(alkyl ethers) having terminal trifluorovinyl aromatic containing groups and polymers produced from such prepolymers. The prepolymers and polymers are useful as biomedical devices such as contact lenses or intraocular lenses.
摘要:
A method for the mitigation of symptoms of dry eye is disclosed. The method involves at least (a) incorporating one or more non-functionalized polymers having one or more hydrophilic moieties into an ophthalmic device that is a polymerization product of a comonomer mixture comprising: (i) a major amount of a non-silicone-containing hydrophilic monomer; and (ii) an end terminal functionalized surfactant; and (b) inserting the ophthalmic device in the eye of a patient.
摘要:
Siloxy-containing monomers, macromonomers, or polymers have at least a siloxy-containing side group that comprises a refractive-index increasing substituent. Polymeric compositions comprising such siloxy-containing monomers, macromonomers, or polymers are advantageously used for making ophthalmic devices, such as intraocular lenses, contact lenses, corneal rings, corneal inlays, and keratoprostheses.
摘要:
A method for improving the wettability of a medical device is provided, the method comprising the steps of (a) providing a medical device formed from a monomer mixture comprising a hydrophilic monomer and a siloxy-containing monomer, (b) subjecting a surface of the medical device to a surface treatment, and (c) contacting the treated surface of the medical device with a wetting agent solution comprising a carboxylic acid-containing polymer or copolymer to form a carboxylic acid-containing polymeric or copolymeric layer on the treated surface of the medical device.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polymeric compositions useful in the manufacture of biocompatible medical devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to certain carboxylic monomers capable of polymerization to form polymeric compositions having desirable physical characteristics useful in the manufacture of ophthalmic devices. The polymeric compositions comprise polymerized carboxylic hydrophilic siloxanyl monomers.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polymeric compositions useful in the manufacture of biocompatible medical devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to certain cationic monomers capable of polymerization to form polymeric compositions having desirable physical characteristics useful in the manufacture of ophthalmic devices. Such properties include the ability to extract the polymerized medical devices with water. This avoids the use of organic solvents as is typical in the art. The polymeric compositions comprise polymerized cationic hydrophilic siloxanyl monomers prepared by the process disclosed herein.
摘要:
Optically transparent, relatively high refractive index polymeric compositions and ophthalmic devices such as intraocular lenses, contact lenses and corneal inlays made therefrom are described herein. The preferred polymeric compositions are produced through the polymerization of one or more aromatic-based silyl monomers or the copolymerization of one or more aromatic-based silyl monomers with one or more aromatic or non-aromatic non-siloxy-based monomers, hydrophobic monomers or hydrophilic monomers.
